Client Comments
It goes without saying that the help you and Barbara have provided to my project is invaluable. I recommend you all the time, you are at the top of your field and if there are any skeptics I’d recommend they do a Google search for “RV park consultant”! I wish you continued success and it is my pleasure to have become acquainted with and be lucky enough to work with you and Barbara.
Sincerely, Charlie Curry
As the owner and developer of Bella Terra of Gulf Shores, a Class A RV only luxury motor coach resort, I had the pleasure of conducting business with RV Park Consulting, Inc. and specifically Rich Stockwell. Rich and his company were instrumental in developing both the concept and overall design of this project. Today the resort is recognized within the industry as one of the top 5 resorts in the country and we have received the highest ratings designations from both Woodall's, Good Sam Club/Trailer Life Directory and Wheeler's RV Guide. We consistently receive excellent reviews from guests who visit the resort and have dozens of testimonials posted across various RV related web sites. Additionally, Bella Terra has been recognized by the various local business chambers as well as the local community and government. In May 2008, Bella Terra of Gulf Shores receive top honors by the City of Foley, AL with it's Beautification Award. I would highly recommend RV Park Consulting, Inc's services to any owner / developer who is considering such a concept.

Just to share an update with you, the Palouse RV Park is now open. At a dedication ceremony in July 2009, RV Park Consulting was identified as one of our valued partners to make it happen. Pictured is Palouse Mayor Michael Echanove sharing with the crowd how projects in Palouse are only successful with the help of our great partners.

"Rich,
We have opened the Pavilion and pools and moved into our new offices. This RV Park is nice and you should be able to use as springboard as it is mostly your design. We should be complete in 4-6 weeks. The RV community appreciates the large sites you designed and the ability to get in and out of their sites with ease."

"Rich evaluated my property and was able to quickly sketch out a plan for an interesting RV Park development, Although I elected not to proceed with the project, the advice Rich provided was quite useful in enabling me to evaluate all of the options. I found his work to be timely and cost effective and I would recommend his services to other property owners considering a RV Park development project."

April, 2007 - A park Rich designed - The Lake RV and Golf Resort, Chowchilla, Ca, was recently featured in an article in "Highway Magazine"as one of the "Sweet 16 Parks" in the United States. The note from owner Martin Boone said, "The article referenced a rating by Trailer Life Directory of RV Parks ratings of over 11,000 parks and the sweet 16 received a rating of 29 or higher" Thanks Rich!
Hi Rich & Barbara,
Just thought you would like to see our 2007 ad and what kind of rating we
got from Woodalls. I faxed it to you. Staying fairly busy, but more will come.
Tom & Sharon Able with Woodalls said that they really don't think they know of a
nicer park in the Midwest and that they hadn't seen one take off like we have.
You guys should be proud to have your company name on this park. You will
also be on other parks if we continue on with this, which I think we will.
Keep your eyes peeled for properties and interested franchise potentials
for us.

"Thanks again for all the great support from both
of you. The county attorney, told us that he checked into your credentials and
experience and certainly was impressed by your knowledge and expertise in the RV
park field. Way to go! We're certainly glad to have you on our side and helping
us to guide this project.
All the best to you both. Will talk to you soon,
Sincerely,

I just wanted to take a minute to thank you again for help in making our dreams
and visions become a reality. Since first meeting you in the spring of 04 we
have come a long way on our project. I am happy to inform you that just
yesterday, 10/21/04 our project was approved unanimously by the Police Jury and
the Planning and Zoning Board. Your guidance through this crucial stage is
invaluable. Actually, all the work we have done with you up to this point made
the permit process flow smoothly. The Business Plan, Business Model, Site Plan
and attention to every detail to ensure a quality state of the art development
has excited not only local public officials, but also the citizens, business
owners and RVer's of Southwest Louisiana. We have also received several
proposals from local bankers, they are even excited, which sure helps
in negotiating terms. All of this enthusiasm is directly related to the
professionalism shown during the last 6 months of planning. We plan to break
ground around the end of the year and open for business in the fall of 05.

P.S. Thanks for all of the RV Industry contacts you have provided us with, they
have all proved to have quality products and services as well as good pricing,
sure has saved a lot of time.
Rich,
"The team has decided against building an RV Park. We have returned to our
original idea of residential development. I would like to personally thank you
for your help. The information you gave us was key in our decision making
process. If it wasn't for your professional opinions and advice, we would have
traveled down a path that would not have been in our best interest, and would
have potentially had very negative impacts on myself, my family, my parents, and
the team. I have told allot of people about you and your service. I hope you
someday see a return from me "spreading the word".
Thank you again,
Lee
"Rich was invaluable in helping us make an informed decision about purchasing an RV Resort. Bottom-line, Rich kept us out of trouble, focused our efforts and helped direct us toward a more profitable marketing strategy. He is a wealth of knowledge. After we attended our first national ARVC convention, it was very clear that the ideas and suggestions he gave us were cutting edge and best practices in the industry. It was also apparent that he is well respected by his industry colleagues. The time he spent with us was invaluable ... it was worth way, way more than he charged us! I strongly recommend Rich."

"Consulting Services for RV Park Owners, and those interested in building or
buying an RV Park: While we typically do not link to commercial sites, we
frequently have inquiries from park owners and others interested in building an
RV park wanting to know where they can get professional assistance. Rich and
Barbara Stockwell have provided assistance to many of our readers in the past;
and recently established their own consulting business. We believe they are well
qualified in park design and management issues, including technical matters such
as computer reservation systems and website design. As founders and managers of
a highly rated RV resort, we believe their services may be of interest to some
of our readers. They've agreed to provide preliminary and threshold guidance to
our readers who contact them, identifying themselves as participants at RVers
Online. We think this is a logical starting point for anyone interested in
improving management systems, park design and/or redesign, and technical issues
including in-house reservation systems and website design."
